From Teresa E.
I have rheumatoid arthritis and my knee had started swelling and hurting
when I walk. After just one treatment, the pain was
significantly less. After the second treatment, my knee has
not bothered me at all. The swelling in my right hand also
goes down dramatically after treatment.

I have had a football injury from high school
for many years. It had been numb since that injury. I came to seek a
different alternative because nothing else had work over the years.
Dr. Wu gave me a educational treatment along with some back
acupuncture. He said I would have to come back to visit one more
time, but he fixed it the first visit. I have recommended him to
many of my friends and critics. This really worked. Thanks Dr. Wu.

Acupuncture for
Sports Injuries

For more than 3 decades Houston Acupuncture and
Herb Clinic has helped both professional athletes and amateurs for
all kinds of sports injuries and we are proud of our successful
results.

Followings are most common seen sport injuries
could be helped greatly by acupuncture and Chinese medicine:

Acupuncture is being widely adopted to treat
sports injuries. It is also recognized as an effective method for
sports injury. Instead of using pain medicine, acupuncture
naturally increases the body healing power to relieve the pain and
reduce the inflammation instantly. In ancient Chinese medicine,
acupuncture simply can increase the circulation to open the
channels.

Bruises, sprains, strains, or some stress
fractures are commonly seen in the sports injuries. With acupuncture
and Chinese medicine, varieties of sports injuries can be
successfully helped in professional athletes, ballerinas, dancers,
trainers, performers, martial artists, and ammeter athletes.

The results of acupuncture for sports injuries
are highly satisfied for pain relief, decrease of inflammation,
reduce bruising, stiffness, and speed up the recover. More and more
professional sports teams are offering acupuncture for both injury
treatment and prevention of injury. Some teams even hire
acupuncturists on board to maintain the performance at the peak
level. Not only the injuries from the sports, the injuries from
working, overuse, trauma and arthritis are also can be benefit
tremendously from acupuncture and Chinese medicine.

Acupuncture first can regulate the disruption
of qi and blood in the injured areas especially for the pulled or
torn muscle, acupuncture sometimes plus electrical stimulation could
quickly restore the majority muscle tone and functions. Second,
acupuncture treatments can instantly increase the body flow such as
qi, blood, mist to nourish the strained areas which would eliminate
the further deterioration. Third, acupuncture is a wonder for the
old injuries. Mostly old injuries involved qi and blood stagnation
or even stasis, besides increasing the body flows to break through
the stagnation, at the same time acupuncture could replenish the
tissues for the repair and restoration.

It is not strange that most of sports injury
patients could receive an immediate improvement during the
acupuncture treatment.
